Psalms for Praying
Nan C. Merrill
Clothe us in the dress of your peace,
and in the stronghold of your mercy,
that we might bear the power of Love;
Let us walk in shoes of integrity,
and don the mantel of truth.
Let us shed the tatters of envy and fear,
the rags of anger and greed,
and say, "We shall seek only the Truth,
which will set us free."
Dedicated to my friend, Rev. Masaaki Shibano who holds vigil as 30,000 people in Japan flee their homes. May all survivors and refugees in our world find peace, safety, and shelter tonight. Holy God, please, a special prayer for the children who are carried through the storms of this world. May they be held and fed. May their feet be planted on holy ground.
